I have the same feeling, which I think is unfortunate. After looking at many open-source caching products, JCS seems to have the all the right featues, but just feels dead. I have not benchmarked or stress tested JCS, but for features things look good.
Personally I think it's the web site which offer no news, no benchmarks, no links to reviews, no requirements for developers to get involved, no easy to use getting started guide, etc. I would be interested to hear what others think - is there something fundamentally wrong with JCS? Aaron seems to be great at answering questions, and maybe there are no problems. I suspect there are some problems but there is no FAQ or Wiki so everyone runs into the same problems - for example I saw an email which suggested that the JGroups config was buggy and best avoid, but I guess many people repeat the same tests and after wasting time gave up. I would be especially interested to hear any success stories on distributed/remote caches.
